You Just Never Know How it will Turn Out

You Just Never Know How it will Turn Out

Just like life, with painting your never really know how it will turn out… especially with the intuitive painting process I use. Some paintings come together fairly fast, but not this one. For months I never knew which way this painting wanted to go – it eluded me. Then I just decided to scrap the flowers in the middle of the painting adding a big lemon yellow patch and suddenly this big playful dog came bounding into the painting. Just like life, everything was there and all I had to do was bring it into focus. I simply added an outline to his form, darkened his eyes and added a bright red tongue hanging out and he makes me laugh.
